Application of Boron Carbide B4C Powder  

Production Method of Boron Carbide

The production method of boron carbide mainly involves high-temperature chemical reactions. Standard synthesis methods include:

1. High-temperature Reaction: Boron sources (like boric acid or boron ore) and carbon sources (like coke or petroleum coke) react at temperatures usually above 2000°C in an oxygen-deficient or slightly oxygenated atmosphere to prevent oxidation.
2. Fluid Stage Response: This includes molten salt bathrooms containing boron and carbon substances, which respond to create boron carbide.
3. Gas Stage Synthesis: Methods such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) use aeriform catalysts to create boron carbide movies at high temperatures, needing intricate tools and accurate control.
